散步*台北 (上)
又過了一星期到了每週遊記時間~~~
Another week passed, it's my traveling blog time again
前三篇都是介紹遙遠的美國
the first three articles are all about America
今天決定來推薦一下自己居住的城市
so today i wanna change it, I am going to recommend some place in my own city
付諸行動的可能性和動力可能也比較大啦XD
which might be easier to do and would also makes u want to try and find it helpful
住在台北24年
I live in Taipei for 24 yrs
我總是覺得台北沒什麼好玩的地方
most of the time I think it is a pretty boring city
不像南台灣有陽光沙灘比基尼
we don't have sunny beach with bikini girls like Kenting
也不像東部有絕美的峭壁峽谷
we don't have astonishing cliffs and canyons like Eastern Taiwan
空氣也沒有南投高山上清新
and we don't have super fresh air like those mountains in mid-Taiwan
但是台北還是有很多適合去散散步的慢活好地方
but we do have some places that you can take it slowly for a walk
and just get away from this busy, crowded city.
今天先來說說台北必遊的信義區和我住的文山區好了
So, I guess I will talk about Xinyi and Wenshan District
(其實我也沒有很熟, 期望看我介紹逛什麼好店的人可以關視窗了)
(I am not very familiar with the place tho lol
if you expected me telling you where to shop, you can close the window)
以一日遊為例
take one day trip for example
我覺得沒有嘗試過的人可以到貓空那裡搭纜車
I think it would be perfect to start with Maokong Gondola
以前我也以為貓纜沒什麼, 搭上去搭下來就要一百塊
I used to think that's boring to do that and will cost u 100NT just for the gondola ride
上面也沒什麼好逛的
and i thought there is nothing much to see up there anyway
結果證明我錯了
but it proves that I was wrong
貓空有點點像台北人的小世外桃源
Maokong is kinda like a tiny little paradise for Taipeinese lol
山上空氣清爽 (搭纜車往上的途中會看到非常多的樹, 想必是空氣清新的原因)
air is actually fresh up there (must because there r sooooo many trees)
山上有很多茶室(聽起來好奇怪XD)
and there are a lot of tea restaurant you can enjoy meal and nice tea
我一間都沒有進去過 (很小的時候有但不記得了)
I didn't go any of them since maybe 15 yrs ago
但室外其實就可以玩很久了喔
but it's fun enough outside and u can spend lots of time taking pictures
可以參考這個網頁
please check out this page
裡面有旅遊資訊以及交通方式還有纜車營運時間
there is all the information you need includes operation time of the gondola
(基本上最快的交通運輸工具就是捷運文湖線,
貼心小提醒:大家一起愛地球,多多搭乘大眾運輸工具)
(the easiest way to get there is to take MRT brown Line
Sweet (lol) note: please love our planet, take public transportation!
記得一定要是天氣好才可以去喔
but make sure you visit on a nice day
不然很容易碰到纜車暫停營運
otherwise, the gondola might shut down due to weather condition
如果是直接搭乘纜車上貓空
if you take gondola both going back and forth
出了貓空站之後往前直走約一百公尺(?)
go straight for about 100 meters after you r out of the station
右手邊有類似登山步道的地方(沒有這麼恐怖,不要嚇到)
on your right side, there is a trail you can take
叫做"樟樹步道"
it's called Camphor Trail
我沒有走完這條步道過,但是大致上都是平平好走的步道喔
I never finished the whole trail, but it's pretty easy to walk on it
我還看過有人穿高跟鞋走....
I've seen people walk there with high heels...
這條步道上有些農村生活時期的物品(?)
there are some farm village stuffs
對城市小孩來說應該很新鮮吧
it's pretty cool for people grew up in a big city
加上一片綠油油點綴奶油黃小花
with green landscape and buttery yellow color flowers
真的是可以讓人稍稍放鬆一下遠離都市忙碌的快步生活
it sure releases the tense from busy, fast city life.
有水牛拉車像, 小小生態湖(?), 穀倉涼亭...
you can see cows pulling carts, a small eco-lake, and a barn-shaped pavilion
很難想像寸土寸金的台北市區能有這樣的小天地
it's hard to imagine there is such a place in crowded Taipei
如果不想花100塊大洋搭纜車, 可以先搭車到政治大學換小巴上貓空
if you don't feel like spending 100 NT just for gondola,
you can take a bus to NCCU and take another smaller bus to Maokong
或者從公館搭530公車到指南宮
or take bus 530 to Chih-Nan temple
從指南宮爬爬小山到貓空
then have a little walk to Maokong
回程在搭纜車下山
and on your way back from the mountain, take the gondola
一方面省小錢,一方面可以避開在動物園站大排長龍的旅客又省時
you save a little on transportation, and also avoid the long line at the Gondola Zoo station
光是樟樹步道這一區塊, 就夠完大半天囉~
you should have lots of fun and spend half day on that trail mentioned above
(at least I did)
下山時搭纜車絕對是最方便的方式
如果不想人擠人排隊
建議約在四五點下山避開晚餐時段人潮
if you don't want to wait in line too long, Gondola is the best way to go home
but would suggest you leave earlier to avoid most of the tourists.
and that will b around 4-5pm (or earlier)
下山後動物園都關了, 那麼還有哪裡可以去呢?
but where can you go when you get down from the mountain,
besides, the zoo is close by then
不要以為動物園那裡很偏僻靠近深坑山區了
don't be fooled by the location of the zoo
其實只要過個隧道, 連接可是繁華的信義區!!
just pass a tunnel, you will meet the bustling Xinyi District
(在貓覽動物園公車站等綠1號公車, 方便又快速)
(it's really convenient to get there by Green 1 bus)
如果比較早下山,天氣又好到讓你捨不得回家
if you came down early, and the weather is too nice to go home
推薦各位到台北101的星巴克(我沒有在打廣告ㄛ)
definitely should try Starbucks in Taipei 101
星巴克有一間位於台北101三十五樓的分店
there is one in 35F in Taipei 101
(但是很小間)
(a tiny one tho)
到了101不要傻傻的想直衝35F
don't just rush in to the elevator and think you can get to 35F
會被攔下來 = =
the security will stop u!
要記得從松壽路(好像是)的入口進入
make sure you get in Taipei 101 from the entrance on Song Shou Rd. (i think)
到裡面會看到換證的機台
then you will see a machine telling you that you need a pass
(it's free, don't worry)
點選星巴克 35F後會接通門市
click on Starbucks 35F, it will connect to the shop
店員會問你人數
and they will ask you how many of you are coming up
(如果樓上客滿, 可能不會讓你換證進去)
(if it is fulled, they might won't let you in)
順利上樓後,就是無敵拍照時間!!
and once u get up there, PICTURE TIME!!!
一杯咖啡,美麗黃昏,以及絢爛夜景
a coffee, beautiful sunset, and amazing night view of the city
有沒有值得!!!
totally nailed it !!
馬上為慢活的一天畫下完美句點阿!
(嫌不夠的人,信義區什麼不多就是百貨公司多,慢慢逛)
(if that not enough for you after these two places,
there are lots of department stores might satisfy u)
星巴克只營業到晚上六點(印象中)
in my memory, Starbucks up there only open to 6pm
下樓後可以到地下街吃美食,
you can go get dinner at B1 of 101
或者到新光三越廣場看看街頭藝人表演聽免費的音樂
or walk to the plaza of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi and listen to free music
有時候101外牆會因應節日或時事有不一樣的圖案
and sometimes there will b different pattern on the outside of 101
base on some holidays or special events
對我來說是城市生活中一點小小的快樂
to me it's a simple happiness in a big city
也許無法帶給你無敵雀躍的感覺
it might not bring you ecstasy,
但可以讓我不自覺的由衷的微笑 :)
but it makes me smile, truly :)
還是玩不夠的話
Still look for sth more ?
邁開步伐往臨江(通化)夜市去吧
maybe walk to Tonghua night market on Keelong Rd.
銅板美食和台灣的人情味在夜市裡歡迎你~
cheap cuisines and Taiwanese hospitality is waiting over there
但我最喜歡的,是在基隆路上沿路看看那些寵物店裡面的小狗 <3
but to me, I love to watch those puppies along the road in the pet shops
雖然我支持以領養代替購買
though I think it's better to adopt one than buy one
但是看到那些小毛球在裡面淘氣玩耍
I see those naughty furry things play with each other
或者熟睡在彼此身邊
or cuddle and fall asleep
很多的煩惱在當下都可以一掃而空
they make my day and get rid of sadness in my mind
慢活的一天台北散步
an easy simple slow day in Taipei
希望也可以帶給各位小確幸的美好
I hope it can bring you a little happiness in life
更重要的是
most importantly,
一天的行程都是搭乘大眾交通工具!
all the spots I mentioned, you can get there by public transportation !!!!!
愛自己也愛我們的地球喔
don't forget to love our Earth while you are loving yourself
歐若拉每週遊記,下次見 ^w<
